Students focus on industrial/technical materials and processes as they fabricate usable products and conduct experiments. Learning experiences include career analysis as well as the use of tools and equipment related to analysis, testing, and processing of metals, plastics, woods, ceramics, and composite materials. This single-period laboratory course is recommended for students interested in technical careers and others wishing to improve their consumer knowledge and technological literacy.

Program specialists have identified Materials and Processes Technology as a viable option for school divisions to offer for high school credit at the middle school level.

As noted in Superintendent’s Memo #106-10 (4-30-2010), this Career and Technical Education (CTE) course must maintain a maximum pupil-to-teacher ratio of 20 students to one teacher, due to safety regulations.
